On Friday we travelled to Eunan and Sarah’s house in Montieri. The centre of the town is closed to traffic due to works installing thermal heating so we had to find a roundabout way to the house. We got the shutters open, the electricity on and the gas on and I started to unpack. To stock up with food required a journey to Follonica 45 km away. When we returned we discovered that we could not get the gas boiler to provide hot water so a long long distance call was required for Eunan to talk us through the process. It’s great to be in a house with a bit of space - we were beginning to feel a bit claustrophobic in small apartments.
At about 5am we were woken by the most horrendous thunderstorm with thunder and lightning almost simultaneous. The rain was torrential. It continued in full fury for a full hour then eased in intensity during the morning. We were beginning to think we would be housebound for all of Saturday but managed a trip to Follonica and a brief tour.
